You may be right, but both measures are necessary. Funds must also be given directly to parents. You had an excellent family allowance program which you eliminated. We need universal measures, to direct funds to people, both those who choose to stay at home and to daycares. Daycares on their own are not sufficient. We have to separate maternity benefits from employment insurance. It doesn't work well otherwise.
